As expected, the division in charge of equipment at Microsoft, has lifted the veil on its new mouse with technology BlueTrack at a press event in Seattle, USA. With the launch of Microsoft Explorer and Explorer Mouse Mini Mouse, Microsoft intends to once again revolutionize the world of mice as the inventor of optical mice with BlueTrack proposes an entirely new technology for monitoring movements. The Microsoft engineers have indeed developed a new optical engine using a blue light. It is up to four times larger than the traditional laser mice today, allowing BlueTrack mouse to operate on a larger type of surface (carpet, marble table, wooden table, etc.).

And Microsoft, of course, not forgetting the design with these new mouse as you can find mice with a halo of light blue, a logo backlit, and materials of various kinds: a place rubber, plastic mat and shiny, or a chrome finish. While roulette is metal with a comfortable grip, but it is still not serrated.

For now, Microsoft announced two new mouse: Microsoft Explorer with Bluetrack technology, a rechargeable wireless mouse logically with technology BlueTrack and dedicated to the desktops and Microsoft Explorer Mini with technology that addresses BlueTrack about it the laptops. Côté tarification, Microsoft annonce un prix public conseillé de 79 euros TTC pour la Microsoft Explorer et 59 euros TTC pour la Microsoft Explorer Mini. Pricing side, Microsoft is announcing a retail price of 79 euros including tax for Microsoft Explorer and 59 euros including tax for Microsoft Explorer Mini. It is noteworthy that the commercial availability of these products should be done in the autumn.
